Tino is an incredibly sweet and charming puppy with a heart as big as his personality. Born around Jan 1, 2026, he is kind, gentle, and very people-oriented, forming quick bonds with those around him. His affectionate nature really shines—he loves closeness, attention, and being near his humans. We cannot guarantee size but it is likely he will be 20-25 lbs or so full grown
Tino is also a smart pup who is already showing how eager he is to learn. He’s very responsive to gentle correction, making him a joy to work with and a great candidate for continued positive reinforcement training. His ability to take direction, paired with his loving temperament, sets him up for success as he grows.
With his super sweet demeanor, affectionate personality, and bright mind, Tino is the kind of puppy who will thrive in a home ready to guide him, love him, and enjoy all the wonderful moments that come with raising a young dog.
